A former Rhinelander business owner who was sought by the Rhinelander Police Department in conjunction with several incidents where he allegedly took money from elderly couples but failed to do promised work was apprehended in Illinois this week and made his initial court appearance Wednesday. Steve C. Montalto, 52, the for- mer owner of Steve's Glass and Upholstery, 1201 N. Stevens St., was wanted on a warrant in conjunction with charges filed against him in Oneida County Circuit Court April 23. He is charged in three separate cases with three felony counts of theft in a business setting, six misdemeanor counts of issuing worthless checks and five misdemeanor counts of theft in a business setting. The case charging the six counts of issuing worthless checks dates back to Jan. 16, 2014. Montalto failed to appear at a plea and sentencing hear- ing on Feb. 19 of this year and a warrant for his arrest was issued by Branch II Judge Michael Bloom at that time. The second warrant was issued by Branch I Judge Patrick O'Melia when the felony charges were brought on April 23. The third case was filed April 28. At his initial appearance Wednesday before Bloom, Montalto was ordered held on $10,000 bond and an adjourned initial appearance date was set for Aug. 13.
